Interview Insights

I recently (3 days ago) finished the last interview of a very competitive and long hiring process (>10 interviews) for a T1 PE firm (analyst position).

Do you guys have any insights on how many applicants get to talk with the head of division? I.e.: how many applicants reach the last interview stage?

HR said I should expect an answer within the next 14 days, so I was wondering abt the number of my competitors usually left after lengthy processes as the one described above.

Thanks for your insights everyone!
